Riley has been grieving his lack of love life for long enough, or so his brother tells him. But he’s been on Illuminate’s books for two years already and no match.. Finding someone who loves being tied up while Riley does wicked things to him is easy, but finding someone who is safe to be around his daughter is another thing entirely. When he’s finally matched, the crushing pain he feels when his date is a no-show is hard to bear.
Xander has spent his entire life fending for himself and learning who he is because he has no one to tell him where he came from. Finding himself is still a work in progress, but when he starts working for Illuminate Matchmaking, he can’t help but want what he sees the company achieve every week. Someone to love him for all his flaws and kinks. Someone to love what they see - inside and out.
A shock twist finds Xander on a date he isn’t expecting…
A single dad, hurt/comfort, MM matchmaking novella.
Elouise East writes sweet and steamy connections in gay romance. She also touches on taboo stories under the name Elouise R East. She writes books that are emotionally realistic, even if liberties are taken with other aspects of the stories. She doesn’t know any other way to write. It comes from deep inside.
Books that tell the stories where friendship and family are the focal point - be it blood family or chosen - are very important to her. That’s why she includes a variety of personalities, talents, ages, situations and abilities.
Her characters come to life on the page for her as well as her readers, their stories unfolding in front of her as she writes. Just like real life, the lives of her characters change with every choice, every interaction and every conversation. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. She wants her characters to be real, to be relatable, to be free to have whatever views they tell her they have. And trust her, most of the time, she does not have any say in the matter!
